SubjectError mounting FC8 NFS server with 2.6.31-rc3 NFSv4 client.

I tried mounting an NFS server running FC8 (2.6.26.8-57.fc8 kernel)
using a Fedora 11 system running an un-patched 2.6.31-rc3 64-bit kernel.

I am not sure at all that the FC8 system is set up to handle NFSv4 properly, but
I was expecting some sort of useful error if that was the case.

Instead, I get this continually spewing to /var/log/messages:

Error: state manager failed on NFSv4 server 192.168.100.6 with error 2
Error: state manager failed on NFSv4 server 192.168.100.6 with error 2
Error: state manager failed on NFSv4 server 192.168.100.6 with error 2
Error: state manager failed on NFSv4 server 192.168.100.6 with error 2
...

On the file-server, I see this:
Jul 19 04:47:59 fs2 kernel: nfs4_cb: server 192.168.100.196 not responding, timed out
Jul 19 04:49:29 fs2 kernel: nfs4_cb: server 192.168.100.196 not responding, timed out
Jul 19 04:49:29 fs2 ntpd[2585]: kernel time sync status change 0001
Jul 19 04:50:59 fs2 kernel: nfs4_cb: server 192.168.100.196 not responding, timed out


I added some debug patches (on top of my other patches, including those to nfs)
and got some debug info:

It seems that nfs4_init_clientid is returning -2, and establish_clid is returning
-2. This causes reclaim lease logic to fail, and that causes state manager to print
out the error repeatedly. -2 means ENOENT.


As far as I can tell, the mount never completes, staying in D state and filling up
logs (I deleted a 16GB /var/log/messages file a few minutes ago!)

The mount command I'm trying is:
mount -t nfs4 192.168.100.6:/export/tmp /mnt/lf/nfs4-0


My kernel config is found here:

Thanks,
